I decided to not wait for things to get better, so I went ahead. My family and friends expressed concerns about how… Read more “My only resolution for the year 2021 was: do hard things!”

This must have, however, stuck in my mind, as towards the end of January,… Read more “I don’t think I have had as many conversations with God as I did while on this trek”

I have been pushed out of my comfort zone and set out a clear plan for fitness, and had… Read more “When I set out to scale Lenana Peak, nobody believed I could make it”

THE OUTDOORER CREED
I am a hiker, not a marathoner.
The mountain is not going anywhere, I am.
I will keep a moderate pace to save my life and health today.
So, if I don't summit today I can do it all over again next time.
I will never conquer the mountain but I can conquer myself.
I will unlock my mountain.
no matter your fitness level, we're here to help you get up and out
Hiking is a great way to be outdoors, stay active, relieve stress, enjoy nature, bond with your family and friends, or just have some fun.
